The REAL reunion would be Noel and Liam recording any sort of new music with Owen Morris as the producer! Amen. |

I don't get why some are against new music. They were never a flash in the pan. There's nothing sacred about their music. They've already released albums that were worse than their first two. New music won't ruin any legacy. And they've both been on form with their solo careers. For me they should just carry on as if they never stopped. I'm not against it but I just know certain misery guts will pull it apart and not give it a chance so that's my worry, people will just unfairly compare it to the heyday, I mean look at how much DOYS gets slagged off here and it's actually a banging album. Yeah tails off at the end a bit but 3 meh songs in no way warrants the hate that album gets or the reputation of Oasis splitting up on a low note. It's just not true, they went out on a high, they had more to give. Now imagine there's like 2 songs on a new Oasis album that some people don't take to, they'll kill it on that basis. That's what I worry about Things have changed a bit since 2008 when DOYS got slagged off. If Oasis released something like AYW or Chasing Yesterday back then they would have been ripped apart too because everyone decided Oasis were really uncool by that point. People around my age who were older teenagers/young 20's in the late 2000's saw Oasis as music for the previous generation and they were more into skinny jeans wearing indie-rock groups because it was their scene at the time and a lot of that music was a reaction to the brit pop hangover. Funny thing is a lot of younger people now grew up without that culture and hear Oasis without all the baggage and just enjoy it for what it is which is why Liam had such a well timed revival in 2017, plus you've got the older fans who have always been there. Whenever I've been to the solo gigs it's always been a mix of mostly teenagers/people in their early 20's and older people in their 40's/50's for the most part and in 2008 those fans were either too young to contribute to the online discussion or were too old to be the target audience of the music press which influenced the trends at the time. If they released something now along the same quality of DOYS but with a bit more of a classic Oasis sound I think it would be pretty well received. |

I'd be excited, though a tad disappointed if it were just a series of gigs in the UK, but of course this is just a Central European uni student speaking. If Oasis really want to continue as a band, they'll have to release a new album because, you know, that's what being a band is all about.
Oasis after DBTT was a bit of a farce in the sense that the brothers, whose relationship and "cooperation" made the band what is was in the first place, weren't even on talking terms anymore. If the case is similar today, it'll be nothing more than a nostalgia act - which is still fine if they and the audience enjoy it, but less than what I'd desire. If Liam and Noel made up, though, I can't see them not releasing any new music, after all, they are musicians.
So what I'm hoping for is that Oasis come back as a proper band band. Who gives a shit about their legacy? No new music can live up to the first two albums anyway, and besides, I trust Noel as a songwriter to come up with something that'll make this 15 year long wait feel worth it.

OK. Though I'm 99% hyped that this is it, what if this fall through? Any recommendation to cope with it? I think I got too carried away...  I did recommend a boatload of Zoloft for the forum, many pages ago! |

Do we think anything will be posted around Manchester today?
Similar to when Stone Roses comeback and the Lemons were dotted around the city.

All that's happened is a couple of news articles from "sources" saying its on. These kind of articles circle about once a year for the past 10 years, I could post dozens from past years. Since then there's been more articles just repeating what's said in the others. The rest is just twitter hype. The odd cryptic Liam tweets which means nothing, it's Liam. Then the only other thing is Oasis have something happening on Tuesday morning at 8am. They're releasing DM on Friday, it could literally just be an old recording or a video. So really it's basically nothing that's never been said before. It's just got a bit more traction. It might happen, but I think a lot of people here are reaching really,based on what they're doing off i.e tabloid articles that could've been copied and pasted from older ones,and a few tweets. They have something to announce on Tuesday, and it's not at all impossible that they're just riding the wave of rumors and now are using the whole reunion story to better promote whatever it is that they're going to announce on Tuesday. And they can always distance themselves from it and say that none of them ever mentioned a reunion. Exactly what I said earlier in the thread. You wouldn't extinguish the rumours with a release coming out in a few days You would ride it out and then say "we never mentioned a reunion, that's the papers" |

The Gallagher brothers, since reviving films and media around Oasis, have been clearly trying to put the focus on the first two albums. That's the Oasis they want us to remember.
So, that's where this reunion will begin. It'll be all about spiking sales for The Definitely Maybe Reissue and selling out a worldwide WTSMG moment and possibly world tour.
Noel doesn't like BHN, so he probably thought i' m back for WTSMG or nothing
Anyone realised Oasis broke up on Aug 28 and this announcement is Aug 27?

Everybody talking about gigs but imagine new Oasis single on Tuesday 😱 Think they could have snuck into a studio without anyone noticing and reporting on it? Yeah, Noel owns his own studio, with his own sound engineer. Much easier than using a commercial studio with people outside your circle working there Blur managed a whole album without anyone knowing because they worked in Damon's studio. |

The 8am part makes me think they may kick this off with a new single… Noel’s got a history of dropping a new song at 8am.
Plus, on Matt’s podcast, he’d asked people not to suddenly appear at his studio after a couple turned up there. Next thing you know, he tells everyone he’s shutting it down for six months…

Make sure Debbie Gwyther is in charge of promotion and creative advice instead of Ignition and Marcus bleedin Russell.

I don’t sleep on Mondays after night shift as I don’t work again until Friday night so I get my sleep schedule back on track for the week by staying awake all Monday (other nights, I go to bed directly after work).
But what am I going to do on Tuesday?! The announcement is at 3am ET! Going to be sleep deprived for sure!

Liam’s voice isn’t “shot” though If anything, he sounds better than at the time of his comeback 7 years ago... Yeah that's true... he sounds better than 2005-2019. More powerful and cleaner. But 2019-2021 was something magical. Around the time of "Once". The Hull MTV was just wow. Then things took a dip again with "Cmon You Know" and it's not quite got the same magic ... But who cares man. If Oasis are back, it's going to be like nothing else |

To be clear... i'd LOVE a new single.
That would be bold as fuck.
I want them to treat this like a Ferrari, not an old bike

What's that gotta do with it? It still doesn't mean they're advertising a reunion, it could be a song. If they go plaster posters all over the London underground with a date on it, it could be for a song, a video, reunion, anything. |

I hope Noel is dusting off all his coolest black jackets and someone is getting rid of that hat Liam's been wearing and finding him some round colored sunglasses

Am I the only one who would prefer Zak Starkey on drums? Their best drummer in my opinion, which obviously counts for nothing!

New music won't ruin any legacy. And they've both been on form with their solo careers. For me they should just carry on as if they never stopped. probably because a shit few songs/poor album would kill the hype pretty fast... so the idea of enjoying a year or two of OASIS IS BACK (as they were) before THEN using the idea of "A NEW ALBUM?" for another 2 years of excitement. I know the team at least on Liam's side is always thinking 2 years ahead so... there will be a big pic timeline they're roughly building according to I don't think a new song would kill the hype, if it was rolled out in tandem with gig announcements. That said, I'll be surprised if they've recorded any new material anytime soon. |

He has been touring with Liam for quite the while now. Just feels certain Bonehead is in. He's loved by both brothers. And fans. Unless he's got a health problem he'll be there. If there was a 3rd set member, it should be him (not Gem) |

I think it will just be a poster of the logo with a Morning Glory image as such wth dates of gigs on it. |
